The design of shallow foundation is governed by the bearing capacity of soil. The bearing capacity of soil is the maximum average contact pressure between the foundation and the soil which should not produce shear failure in the soil. However, some cases at site, the suitable bearing capacity only can be found at 3 m depth from the surface or more. Based on your understanding, discuss this situation and how to resolve the issue in perspective as a consultant engineer
